Wharton Cemetery

William Watson Wharton, one of the earliest settlers in Kerr County, purchased 640 acres when he came there in 1857 with his wife Thankful and their three sons, and the family’s cabin stood near this cemetery. Wharton’s is the oldest marked grave in the plot. Also buried there are his wife; his sons William G'Laspie, deputy sheriff of Kerr County for over 50 years, and David Newton; several grandchildren; and members of the Tatum and Love families, who were also pioneer settlers. Wharton descendants maintain the site.
